25th Inf Div commander has been developing his thoughts on his needs for his theater.
In addition to the drone platoon in the battalion multi-purpose company, and the drone company at brigade he also wants a Launched Effects company in his DivArty firing something comparable to the Shahed (long range and cheap).
At the other end he doesn't want drones at the squad level. He figures platoons can spare/manage the necessary resources to operate drones but it is overload foor his squads.

I wonder how he feels about the Switchblade type LAMs.

It all makes me wonder about the big squad/small platoon versus small squads in big platoons.
A tactical entity of 16 to 24 seems to becoming popular.

No drones for Army squads, teams, 25th Infantry Division leader says
Amid a push to put more small drones in soldiers' hands, the Army is learning there’s a ceiling to the number of unmanned systems that units can handle.

CCA was in Wainwright yesterday and was asked a few questions about armoured stuff. He said he was optimistic about the VOR. With the long term support contract in Nisku the VOR will be trending positively for the first time in his career and he expects it to be much better by the summer. He did not mention anything about a new tank buy.
When asked about the CAMO orbat that has 2x Heavy Cavalry Regts, he instead referred to them as "Heavy Direct Fire" units. He then said, there was an article that just came out so I can speak about this. He then said the Griffons are due to be replaced. Then he cautioned what he was saying are options only, not picked COAs but said maybe that is Blackhawks, maybe Attack Helicopters.
So, take that as you will. One off comments from a town hall are worth what you paid for them. But maybe heavy cavalry =/= tanks
